Hi Janine, Oregon has no statewide sales tax, so there is no state seller's permit, though out-of-state suppliers may ask for documentation and local rules can apply. Selling online to other states may create tax duties there once you pass their thresholds. Tell us what you sell and we can help with the rest, such as an EIN and name registration.
Short answer: Obtain Tax Id Oregon: an online store in Beaverton typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
No statewide sales tax, so the state issues no seller's permit and wholesale-only businesses need no sales tax registration. No statewide sales tax, so no seller's permit; out-of-state suppliers may still ask for documentation such as a multistate exemption certificate.

South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information. Wholesale accounts for goods for online resale typically ask for proof of a seller's permit first; with it, inventory bought for resale is purchased without sales tax.
Tip: Know how each marketplace handles sales tax; some collect it for you and some leave that to you.
